Ad Colour drenching my neutral bathroom… This colour is bold and it felt like a bit of a risk… and I had a moment halfway through where I questioned everything, but it just wanted to show you how important it is to trust the process!
This colour caught my eye in @bandq_uk it’s called Red 06 by Lick and its way out of my comfort zone but I couldn’t stop thinking about it!
I spent time testing samples and speaking to the in-store team at B&Q who were helpful, so definitely make use of them if you’re unsure.
I’m so glad I stuck with it. The space finally feels complete and the shower tiles stand out so much more. If you followed our renovation last year, you’ll know it never quite felt finished... this was what it needed.
Everything I’ve used and styled the bathroom with is from B&Q. Product details are below let me know what you think!
